Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to determine the effective doses of 0.5% hypobaric bupivacaine and ropivacaine for unilateral spinal anesthesia in elderly patients (70+ years) undergoing hip replacement surgery.
- A total of 60 patients were randomized into two groups, receiving either bupivacaine or ropivacaine, with effective anesthesia defined by specific sensory and motor blockade criteria.
- Results indicated that the median effective dose for bupivacaine was 4.66 mg and for ropivacaine was 6.43 mg, both showing lower doses needed for effective anesthesia in this age group.
